McGARIGLE GETS THERE.

That Is, He Gets to Canada in Good Shape. But it Is a Very Close Call—Just, a Few Minutes Ahead of the Officers in Landing. Boodler McGarigle, of Chicago, ianded at Sarnia,Ont..Sunday morning, from the schooner Ed. Blake. The Blake and Marsh were in the same tow, and while in American waters the tug Oriole, with Chicago detectives on board, steamed up to the Marsh apparently with the intention of having them drop the Blake's ton line. After a short conversation the Blake’s tow line was let go, but at the same instant a yawl left the schooner with McGarigle and quickly rowed for the Canadian side, landing at Point Edward. McGarigle at once drove to Courtwright, twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to catch a boat He was, however, driven back and is now at Sarnia. It is believed that he is nervous over his safety in Canada, as he keeps away from the river, apparently fearing attempts at kidnapping. Dr. St John,the owner of the schooner Blake, and who is believed to have personally assisted McGarigle to escape, was arrested Monday morning at the breakfast table at his home in Chicago, by Inspector Bonfield. The doctor was at once taken before a magistrate and, waiving examination, furnished bail for $20,000, D. B. Fisk becoming surety. St. John’s supposed assistant in the escape, Dr. Dell, was not arrested, but a warrant is out lor him. He was found at the county hospital complaining of being sick. A guard was left with Dell until it could be ascertained whether he was in a condition to be moved. Judge Shepard, Mondav sentenced Edward S. McDonald to three years in the penitentiary. McDonald is a brother of Mike McDonald, the notorious gambler and politician,and was convicted with McGarigle of conspiracy. Several ether of the leading boodlers in the trial now in progress have pleaded -guilty. The—evidence —was —overwhelming. 1 ;
